Everything Luxury in the Whitsundays

Luxury has arrived in the Whitsundays and it’s here to stay!

In recent years, developments on both the mainland and islands have taken the Whitsundays in a new and welcome direction, while still maintaining the laidback tropical charm that the region is known for.

Luxury Stores & Gourmet Restaurants

On the mainland, new shops offering designer fashions and accessories have opened, and new restaurants are pushing the boundaries with their culinary skills and use of local produce.

Two restaurants in the Whitsundays are now proud recipients of the Australian Good Food Guide Chef’s Hat Award, in recognition of their outstanding cuisine.

The two marinas on either side of Airlie Beach – the Port of Airlie and Abell Point Marina – continue to expand and evolve, offering visitors and locals smart and chic precincts for shopping and dining.

Luxury Accommodation & Facilities

The range of luxury accommodation is also growing, with the opening of full-service hotels offering butler service and bed turn-down, among other things, as well as luxurious apartments and holiday homes.

On the islands, recent developments such as the yacht club and qualia resort, on Hamilton Island, and the 18-hole championship golf course on neighbouring Dent Island, are bringing the Whitsundays’ offering to a new level.

Both Hayman Island and Daydream Island Resort & Spa are undergoing major multi-million dollar refurbishments to ensure they continue to deliver a first class experience for their guests.
